H. members of the DHLSNA double check to see if Lawrence Society of North America at the annual Modern Language their listings on the membership roster on the Association meetings, Jan. 8-11, 2015, in Vancouver, British Columbia. On the DHLSNA webpages reflect their current second day of the conference, Julie Newmark moderated at our first panel, addresses. “D. H. Lawrence’s The Rainbow and War,” which included stimulating papers by Helen Wussow, Erin K. Johns Speese, and Tamara Beauchamp. We were also successful in our efforts to co-sponsor a second session with the Doris Lessing Society, entitled “D. H. Lawrence and Doris Lessing: New Perspectives,” which drew a large and enthusiastic audience. I moderated this session which included papers by Jill Franks, Tonya Krouse, and myself. A 1 lively and delightful annual dinner of the D. H. Lawrence Society of North America followed this session. It was held at the Homer Street Café, a short taxi ride from the conference hotels (see accompanying stories for details). The annual business meeting of the D. H. Lawrence Society of North America held during the MLA conference on the morning of Jan. 10, 2015, offered further evidence of innovative trends in D. H. Lawrence studies. The executive committee and other members of the DHLSNA able to attend the meeting finalized plans for the two sessions we hope to offer at the MLA conference in 2016 which will be held in Austin, Texas. Joyce Wexler organized the first session, “Lawrence and ‘Native’ Encounters”; she received more than a dozen abstracts and selected four brilliant papers that offer new perspectives on Lawrence’s writings about the American Southwest. In addition, the DHLSNA, working with Paul Eggert and John Young, past and current presidents of the Society for Textual Scholarship, has developed a second proposal for MLA 2016 on “Lawrence, Editions and Critical Renewal,” which we hope will be approved. At the Austin MLA, we will also offer an excursion to the Harry Ransom Center, on the campus of University of Texas, not too far from conference hotels, for an introduction to the Lawrence papers included in this library’s extensive collection. We are scouting for a suitable restaurant for the annual D. H. Lawrence Society of North America dinner in Austin, and will announce these plans in our next newsletter. We hope you will mark your calendars and plan to attend these events in Austin. A fourth hopeful sign of the continued expansion of Lawrence scholarship is the range of topics proposed for the MLA in 2017. I invite your comments and suggestions about which topics you think will be of most interest: Eco-critical readings of Lawrence’s texts; Lawrence and Homelessness (voluntary, involuntary, class-related, etc.); Lawrence and the Space in Between (physical spaces and metaphorical spaces); Lawrence at Sea; Lawrence and Affect Theory; Lawrence and Mind. A fifth example of the continuing vitality of our organization will be seen in the coming months as Tina Ferris leads an effort to improve the on-line profile of the DHLSNA by her redesign of our webpages. Finally, in what is perhaps the most promising material sign of the expansive future of Lawrence scholarship globally, the DHLSNA and CCILC (Co-cordinating Committee for International Lawrence Conferences) have recently approved a plan for handling the conference surplus reported by the organizers of the 2014 Gargnano conference. Betsy Sargent describes this collaboration in more detail in the following pages. In the meantime, I hope you join me in celebrating the hard work of Paul Poplawski, Simonetta de Filippis, Stefania Michelucci, Francesca Orestano, Betsy Sargent, and everyone else who contributed to the success of the Gargnano conference: their careful planning and their contribution of resources and hard work have resulted in a Conference Reserve which will help sustain and encourage Lawrence scholarship around the world. Nancy L. Paxton President of the D. H. Lawrence Society of North America CCILC Grows and Creates Financial Support for Future International Lawrence Conferences The 13th International Lawrence Conference (Gargnano, June 2014)—as a result of careful planning and extraordinary contributions of time, resources, and funds from the University of Milan, the University of Genoa, the University of Naples L'Orientale, the DHLSNA, and the City of Gargnano itself—has given the international community of Lawrence scholars a valuable legacy in the form of an unexpected surplus of nearly $6000 USD (depending on exchange rates when one final donation comes in—see the conference financial report posted online at http://www.dhlsna.com/World.htm). It fell to the international body that approved the Gargnano conference proposal in 2011, CCILC (Co-ordinating Committee for International Lawrence Conferences), to ensure the preservation and responsible administration of these funds in order to strengthen Lawrence scholarship globally. Thus, Paul Poplawski (Co-Executive Director of the 13th International Lawrence Conference) drafted a policy proposal this April that was circulated for discussion to CCILC members and the DHLSNA executive. After various revisions to that draft, based on suggestions from both CCILC members and the DHLSNA executive committee, both bodies approved the new policy this May. 2 This policy document (available online at http://www.dhlsna.com/World.htm) creates a Conference Reserve that CCILC- approved conferences can apply to for interest-free loans of up to $2000 for necessary deposits to secure conference services or venues. In addition, the fund supports by outright grants the creation of graduate fellowships at each CCILC-approved conference. An additional positive outcome from the Gargnano conference was the growth of the CCILC—Lawrence scholars presenting at the 13th International Conference came from a wide range of countries which had not previously been represented on CCILC, from New Zealand to Estonia to Bangladesh. From 31 members representing 20 countries, we’ve grown to 38 members representing 28 countries (and please, if you know of an active Lawrence scholar in a country not yet represented on CCILC, send me their name and email address—we want to have as many countries as possible represented). Indeed, the number of members on CCILC would be even greater if we hadn’t been forced at this point to limit most countries to one representative each (only countries with an active DHL society and/or journal or an ex-officio member will have more than one representative from 2015 on).

  • D. H. Lawrence's Political Philosophy As Expressed in His Novels
    RICE UNIVERSITY D. H. LAWRENCE'S POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AS EXPRESSED IN HIS NOVELS BY GARY LEWIS TYERYAR A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director’s signatures Houston, Texas June, 1963 3 1 272 00675 0754 ABSTRACT As I have indicated in my title, the subject of this thesis is the political philosophy of D. H. Lawrence as expressed in his novels. X had originally intended to present a general, critical analysis of the political philosophy^ but as research progressed, it seemed necessary for me to discover exactly what political views Lawrence really held. Therefore, the thesis has become, to a very large extent, a presentation and an organization of the strictly factual material that I have found in Lawrence's novels. In order to be absolutely fair to Lawrence, I have presented this material, as often as possible, in Lawrence's words rather than my own* My concern has been with the facts, rather than with a criticism or an evaluation of the facts* The chief contribution that I have made is in extracting the facts, and organizing them. I have taken the liberty, however, of selecting novels which I consider characteristic of the man. They are: Sons and Lovers. The Rainbow* Women in Love. Aaron's Rod. Kangaroo. The Plumed Serpent. and Lady Chatterley's Lover. Apocalypse and"Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine" are also discussed. The facts have been organized into the following categories: The Genesis of Lawrence's Ideas, Lawrence's Anti-Capitalistic and Anti-Mechanization Views, Lawrence’s Anti-Democratic Leanings and his Attitude Toward War, The Communist and Fascist Questions, and Individual Liberty, Leadership and Power.

  • The Lawrence Stanley Lee (LSL) Marylebone Madonna Window
    The Lawrence Stanley Lee (LSL) Marylebone Madonna Window Installed in 1955 as part of post war damage work to the parish church. The window is the first window on the liturgical south (geographically west) side of the ground floor of the nave. The Arms of those of the old Borough of St Marylebone. The motto reads ‘Let it be according to your Word’ part of the Magnificat or Song of Mary in Luke 1.46-55 Lawrence Stanley Lee (18 September 1909 – 25 April 2011) was a British stained glass artist whose work spanned the latter half of the 20th century. He was best known for leading the project to create ten huge windows for the nave of the new Coventry Cathedral. His other work includes windows at Guildford and Southwark Cathedrals as well as a great number of works elsewhere in the UK, and some in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Early Life Lee was born in Chelsea Hospital for Women on 18 September 1909. His family moved to Weybridge where his father, William, a chauffeur and engineer, had a garage near to the Booklands’ Race Track. Lawrence's mother, Rose, was deeply religious and it was this influence that gave him the appreciation of biblical symbolism that became an important feature of his work. His parents divorced and Lawrence moved with his mother to New Malden. At the local Methodist church he met Dorothy Tucker, later to become his wife. He left school at 14, but won a scholarship to Kingston School of Art. A further award in 1927 enabled him to attend the Royal College of Art, where he studied stained glass under Martin Travers, graduating in 1930.

INGERSOLL As Marina Ragachewskaya has recently indicated in this journal, Lawrence’s interest in the art of dance has received renewed attention in the 2010s.1 The subject has been thought to have opened with two notable investigations:2 ‘D. H. Lawrence and the Dance’ (1992) by Mark Kinkead-Weekes and then ‘Music and Dance in D. H. Lawrence’ (1997) by Elgin W. Mellown, who apparently was unaware that Kinkead-Weekes had blazed the trail before him, since his article contains no mention of this earlier work.3 Another writer who missed Kinkead-Weekes’s article, with its endnote citations from Martin Green’s Mountain of Truth: The Counterculture Begins, Ascona, 1900‒1920, was Terri Ann Mester, whose interpretations of dance scenes in Lawrence’s fiction could have benefited from even a cursory reading of Green’s 1986 study.4 Mester cites Deborah Jowitt’s Time and the Dancing Image, but she does not explore Jowitt’s very brief commentary upon Rudolf Laban and Mary Wigman, which might have provided her with yet another avenue of access to Green’s Mountain of Truth.5 To close this circle, Kinkead-Weekes then responded to Mester’s monograph in his keynote address at the 2003 International D.

  • Rose Window ­ Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Rose Window from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    6/19/2016 Rose window ­ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rose window From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A rose window or Catherine window is often used as a generic term applied to a circular window, but is especially used for those found in churches of the Gothic architectural style and being divided into segments by stone mullions and tracery. The name “rose window” was not used before the 17th century and according to the Oxford English Dictionary, among other authorities, comes from the English flower name rose.[1] The term “wheel window” is often applied to a window divided by simple spokes radiating from a central boss or opening, while the term “rose window” is reserved for those windows, sometimes of a highly complex design, which can be seen to bear similarity to a multi­petalled rose. Rose windows are also called Catherine windows after Saint Catherine of Alexandria who was sentenced to be executed on a spiked wheel. A circular Exterior of the rose at Strasbourg window without tracery such as are found in many Italian churches, is Cathedral, France. referred to as an ocular window or oculus. Rose windows are particularly characteristic of Gothic architecture and may be seen in all the major Gothic Cathedrals of Northern France. Their origins are much earlier and rose windows may be seen in various forms throughout the Medieval period. Their popularity was revived, with other medieval features, during the Gothic revival of the 19th century so that they are seen in Christian churches all over the world.

  • A Žižekian Reading of DH Lawrence
    ISSN 1751-8229 Volume Twelve, Number Three The Sublime Subject of Literary Analysis: A Žižekian Reading of D. H. Lawrence Vicky Panossian, Lebanese American University, Lebanon Abstract This article aims to present a Žižekian reading of the British author David Herbert Lawrence. The contemporary continental philosopher has tackled each of the British author’s reoccurring themes individually and thus may be used as a keystone for a valid literary interpretation. The paper begins by shedding light on the representation of Western ideology, moves further into the comprehension of the impacts of modern cultural capital and the limitations of industrialization. While at the same time the dissertation targets another component of the romantic poet’s many writings, which is the regeneration of the subject’s carnal presence as a defense mechanism against the prevalent culture of de- humanization. The argument at hand is that the reconstruction of the bodily image rendered through Lawrence’s erotic literature is not one that portrays promiscuity, but rather demonstrates a transgression of the Lacanian symbolic and the attainment of a partial rendition of a Hegelian totality. Lawrence’s six novels and set of poems are thoroughly analyzed from a strictly Žižekian perspective to demonstrate that the two authors share thematic representations, a common worldview and propose a manifestation of how literary analyses may be conveyed using Žižek as a philosophical lens for literary interpretation. Keywords Slavoj Žižek, D.H. Lawrence, poetry, Literary analysis, capitalism, Hegel, Lacan, Psychoanalysis, Eroticism, Totality Exordium: A Briefing Slavoj Žižek and David Herbert Lawrence are known for their bluntness, their love of truth and their extensive interest in continental ideology.
